Hi Parents and Dino Hunters:) In this course, students will learn to draw 3 Dinosaurs a week and have 1 weekly assignment. You do not need to have any drawing experience because each drawing is broken down into manageable steps. *This is a FLEX COURSE. Meaning there are no live meetings.* Why Take a Flex Course: 1. Students get to take there Time to complete work. 2. Ability take class from anywhere. 3. Own instructional videos FOREVER. 4. Perfect for all students from Shy to The Over-Talkative. 5. Get weekly feedback on drawings. How does this work? 1. Every Sunday Mr.Adam will post 3 videos on the classroom board with instruction on how to draw each Dinosaur. 2. Students will Post their Pictures on the Classroom Board by Wednesday. 3. Weekly Assignments are Due Fridays. 4. Students will have a weekly prompt to answer via Typed or recorded video response. Although this class does not have live meetings, it is still very interactive and requires weekly participation. *****Introduction videos on how the class works and showing all its features are sent to students once enrolled***** SCHEDULE: Week 1: Plesiosaurus, Triceratops, & Megalodon Week 1: Assignment- Tooth and Tail Week 2: Stegosaurus, Pachycephalosaurs, Pterodactyl Week 2: Assignment- Me and My Family (Dinosaur Edition) Week 3: Kawaii Dinosaurs Week 3: Assignment- Facial Expressions Week 4: T-Rex, Velociraptor, Dilophosaurus Week 4: Assignment- Telling story through environment Week 5: Student Drafted Dinosaurs (Students will decide on 3 Dinosaurs) Week 5: Assignment- My Dinosaur This class is positive and fun.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Dinosaurs are fun but are aggressive and at times can be scary to some students. Carnivores eat meat so the conversation of what other dinosaurs they eat do come up. All drawings are violence and blood-free. All drawings are age appropriate. It is left to the student on what they would like to add to their pictures to create a story...at times students may create fighting scenes or other drawings that some students may find upsetting. Overall, if you are signing your child up for this course...you know enough about dinosaurs from them and know what they entail :) However, any questions or concerns can be directed to Mr.Adam.
